Small QoL Improvements

Please allow us to blacklist users while in a duty. It's very annoying to have to do a bit of mental calculation about whether or not to abandon the duty to blacklist them or stay in the duty and just ignore the chat. Just let us blacklist right there inside the duty and stop seeing their messages.

I am reposting this within here from wishlist for quality of life thread in general discussion.

• Implementation of numbers next to peoples names for when their buffs or my buffs will run out on them. (So if I have two bards in the party you could see when their mages ballade is going to time out so you can also be singing the same song they are.)
• A way to see if someone has been raised or being raised already in the overworld as well as in alliance raids if they are in another alliance.
• A way to see my shields visibly on my health bar not just in a party window because right now there is no way to see how much shields you have left when solo. So just a small indicator over our health bar. (This is especially annoying when solo ing palace of the dead if you do not have a party you do not know how much shields you have)
• A way to increase the size and move the toast text and boss/dialogue message window so I can actually read it because it is small. It is also in a weird place and I can't really do anything about either of these in the Ui menu it does not show up as something I can make bigger or move.
• Chat bubbles above everyone's characters heads, please.
• Something or a setting to change the color of the tank buster icon that is red due to sensory overload. This isn't even in any plug in list I've looked at when attempting to find literally any solution to make tanking a possibility for me so I can play the game again.
• A way to see what killed us, what damage type something is doing and how much damage it is doing to us easily without scrolling through the battle tab.
• A way to stop the chat from scrolling when attempting to look through said dumb battle tab because if you move the window or twitch and click anywhere on your screen it will go back to the end.
• This is especially painful when attempting to copy and paste role play logs or attempting to take screen shots of a role playing scene without it resetting every time someone says something new. It is also frustrating when trying to follow a conversation when it keeps going back down if you click wrongly or someone types something new. You would think clicking the tab would prevent this from happening but it does not.
• Bigger cooldown numbers. Instead of it placed at the bottom of each spell just allow for us to change it so for those having an issue seeing the number, it can go over the spell so it is larger.
• Cooldown number next to player names in order to see when doom, cooldowns, adloh, bard songs of other players can be seen somewhere other than having to click on the player in order to see when things will expire. We can already do this by watching players like hawks for living dead, and holmgang on healers that do not require a target to aoe so it is easier to watch when it will run out and than heal but for astro you have to target an enemy so it is harder to tab back to the tank over and over to watch the cooldown number.
• A way to auto roll on items in a dungeon instead of one by one clicking each and every item if you want to bulk pass on everything.
• A way to enable to commend window from auto popping up at the end of a dungeon.
• A black and white mode filter in the color blind setting.
• Name of location near coordinates instead of needing to open the map to see where I am even in dungeons
• Gathering icons on the map not just on mini map
• Shop names on the map not just shop
• A way to place furniture in a house or apartment without using a bug to lift things to place it on a loft. Unsure why things can not be placed on lofts already but it would make sense to be able to place a bed or plushies on a loft without needed to use a weird rug rise bug.
• More than 4 hotbar layouts
• More than 5 waymark saves (This may be fine for if a group is only doing current content, but running all levels of content it would be nice to keep my alliance raid waymarks and waymarks for when I go through coils as well as extreme trials when helping people learn them. Yes I can place them over and over again, but it would be nice being we can't place them in combat that we could save more than 5)
  
  Some things that are a bit extensive so I will place them here as over wishing
  
• A way to actually split your party window, maybe allow for it to be smaller, so sideways with 4 people in each row instead of just the straight line it is in.
• Save glamour other people have so if you like a piece of the glamour you can see it in game and go find it.
• Save glamour items without having glamour plates or the glamour in your dresser just a log or something you can save items you liked the look of so you can grind for them later when you go to make the set you want. Being the dresser is limited it would be nice to have this saved somewhere other than a word document with the name of the items.
• A way to see the market board from anywhere or a website tab built into the game. (Though this might be horrible because some games can't get this right and it makes the game chug in performance)
• A way to see how much damage I personally have done within a dungeon, and what others are doing even without names so I know what is expected of the class I am playing at a given level.

Sorry in advanced for the long list and if I did not make much sense for some of my points.

Edit: Thank you Rongway! I didn't realize this was an option. I honestly need to do the go advanced thing more frequently. There are a bunch of settings in there I forgot existed on older forums like this one.

If you used the LIST tag this would be much easier to read.

Some of the ones I thought of, most of those have probably been suggested already but still.

• Resizable nameplates.

• HUD layout preview mode (fills up stuff like party list, buffs, debuffs, etc so you can see how that element would look when filled up).

• Split up the parameters bar or give us more layouts for it such as HP above MP, MP above HP, MP on the left of HP.

• Shields appear on your own HP bar and not just party list's

a way to hide this system message would be so nice...

This is already possible, you can check the Party List tab under UI Settings in the Character Configuration menu and unselect "Hide party list when solo."

The result looks like this:

One from me:

• Jobs that do not need an MP bar should not display one. Examples: WAR, GNB, MCH

Seriously, the combat log REALLY needs a "what happened to me" filter. If I die for an unknown reason I should be able to look back at the combat log to see what happened, but in its current state that's effectively impossible.

See those buttons to hide or display weapon, helmet, visor, when you are working on a glamour plate? That should be saved to the glamour plate itself, so if you apply it, those settings are applied to your character configuration. Some glamours I want things toggled, some I do not. It would be nice if it would just remember what I would like per macro.

The combat log should have a way to filter what's happened to specific players in the party when in a duty and an additional "me" filter.

It should also show the exact values of DoTs or HoTs. Right now, the only way to see this is by looking at the floating numbers and guessing.

Positionals should clearly show that the requirement has been met. This is not always easy to know when there's player or boss movement/turning involved.

Macros using /micon should display the text of the respective ability. It's tedious having to go to the action list to check what specific abilities that are often macroed (AST cards, Dragon Sight, etc.) do...
